If You're Into the Mueller Investigation...

Consider this a Public Service Announcement.

We don't get a lot of news in Canada about the Mueller investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. Most of what we do get is tepid, recycled stuff from the American media. It's thin gruel, marginally informative at best.

She also offers an excellent look at the procedural thrust and parry underway between Manafort's counsel and Mueller's team. This shows how major litigation is fought both tactically and strategically. There is a discernible choreography that, once revealed, can be usefully predictive.

In any event, if you want something significantly better than what's dished out by CNN or, heaven forbid, any Canadian media, check out emptywheel.

I am trying to figure out if the facebook likes/ocean personality information is useful for any campaign or if it only helps to target hatemongering and misinformation. Any direction about where to look would be appreciated.

Doesn't that sound like a great subject ( tip of the hat to Bob and Doug ) for a dissertation.

.. ah yes.. emptywheel !I think someone dropped that to Normin a comment and I picked up on it

This thing is moving like toxic mollasses..but I a patient feller from farm country ehand know how to roll with the seasonsThe sap will flow

Comparisons of Mueller and trumph are laughableone is a methodical diligent mind & Viet Nam veteranthe other a fraudulent whiny needy dick from Brooklynwith bone spurs & family money.. and lotsa ex wives

Already, Mueller has brought indictmentsand suspect he will bring the real thunder soonlyExpect screetching crying whining denials to followBut this will be buttoned down poured concreteand will harden.. 'Dustbin' I think David Brennan suggested

I wonder, Sal, if Trump hasn't set a threshold at which he senses a storm coming and will risk trying to get rid of Mueller. Perhaps Manafort will be his litmus test.

I assume that, being able to read the papers, Mueller has considered a kamikaze strike from 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. I have a hard time imagining Mueller or his veteran team dutifully packing up their pencils and shuffling off home.

OCEAN and the applied algorythms, when applied to only 5 data points, knows more about you, than you do, 93% of the time.

Dr. Spectre, the Russian researcher who ripped off his research team at Cambridge, and sold out to Anal, was funded by the St. Petersberg Institute, to study the application of OCEAN and the algorythms, to the "dark triad", ha

Anal and Russia, used Ocean and Anal to microtarget individuals. Anal created apps, for Canvassers, that used individual Facebook data, to customize an approach and talking points for each door they knocked on.They did the same digitally.

We know, from what Tumblr, Facebook and Twitter have released, the Russian Disinfo Ops, worked all angles, they upsold Treason Tribble, downsold Hillary, they used hate, fear and anger to rile up the deplorables, they did the same to disencetivise Democratic Party voters.

So yeah, OCEAN can be used not only to sell you "a product", it can also be used to "trash a competing product", not only can it be used to make you "excited about a product", it can be used to make you "hate and fear a product".
